Genesis 3:22, And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: . . .

Romans 8:3, For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: . . .

Hebrews 4:15, For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Luke 18:19, And Jesus said unto...

The material on the "sin nature" in this OP is provided by Kenneth Wuest (1893-1961), former professor of the "New Testament Greek," Moody Bible Institute.

It's vital that we grasp an understanding of the sin nature in order to build a foundation in which to approach this all important chapter 6 of Romans. This is what I will attempt to do in the OP, and hopefully, Lord willing, we can move on into the chapter with a better understanding of exactly what the great apostle is teaching us....

Let’s investigate and see if we can possibly get a solid understanding of the Incarnation (birth) of Jesus Christ.

You will see below … In the beginning, the Members of the Holy Trinity were God the Father, God the Word, and God the Holy Spirit.

Many churches teach...

Odd fuss of late on this Forum over red-letter words in the Gospels as being inspired (or must be believed in order to be saved) but all the other writings of Paul, Moses, John, Peter, David, etc, may or may not be inspired or needed for salvation or of somehow lesser, non-authoritative value.

The first historic "Fundamental of the Faith" rests on the simple fact that God inspired His Word (exact words in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek with exact grammar, definitions, word choice) completely and...

Here is an orthodox illustration of our Trinity's characteristics.

If we add to the center word "God" with "the Spirit of Yahweh" have we advocated heresy?

If we add to the lower description, The Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, have we misrepresented the Third Person of the Trinity?

There is One God, the Spirit of Yahweh, who has always existed in Three Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

When a born anew believer is indwelt, they are indwelt with the Third Person of the Trinity's Spirit,...

“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:

These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel...

Mr 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
Ac 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
Ac 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Ac 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as...

THE GOSPEL THAT SAVED

Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

The gospel that saves is the gospel that saved. That is, it is a finished work that is so perfect, by a suitable sacrifice that is inherently perfect in which God himself cannot find a flaw. It is the establishment of a perfect righteousness through Christ's obedience unto death that exceeds every other righteousness, to the point that...

Some say God does not transfer chosen human spirits into Christ's spiritual body. But scripture not only says this is exactly what God does, scripture also describes the results (benefits) of having been transferred.
Colossians 1:13 NASB
For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son.

1 Peter 2:9-10
But you are A CHOSEN PEOPLE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR GOD’S OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the...
